I will of course be writing to you regularly to update you with relevant information as we are able to do so. In spite of the many current challenges, we are continuing to provide a quality education for our students and I am thrilled to be able to celebrate their achievements with you in the pages of this month’s newsletter. Many areas from across the school have highlighted the outstanding academic work of our students as well as some of the extra-curricular activities that they have engaged in. I hope you will enjoy reading about them as much as I have. The School Site in Spring Those of us who have been able to work in school during the past few weeks will have noticed that the first signs of spring have been obvious across the campus. Thank you to our hard-working premises and grounds team for keeping the site in such beautiful condition. We are immensely fortunate to have such a wonderful, spacious site for all who work and study here and we look forward to welcoming back all our staff and students who will once again be able to enjoy it first-hand. All good wishes Page 2 News, Events & Activities from the Psychology Department... As part of the course, Year 12 students are required to carry out their own practical activities and they have not let remote learning stop them! Students volunteered to participate in research carried out over Zoom. The aim was to find out if there is a relationship between personality type and saliva production. The students completed Eysenck’s personality test followed by the lemon test to measure saliva production. Following this, they have written up their research and produced some fantastic reports. Well done year 12! Year 13 have been learning about mental health and the differing views on the causes of mental illness as well as treatments. They have been working hard applying their knowledge to exam questions. Well done Year 13! Miss Barlow Page 3 News, Events & Activities from the Psychology Department Continued... Page 4 Dine in Geography Discussion for February The Geography department has created a regular feature for the newsletter - ‘Dine in Geography discussion.’ The aim is to create geographical discussion around the dinner table between students and parents/carers, based on significant and topical issues. This month’s discussion question is ‘Antarctica - the last wilderness on Earth.’ Menu Appetizer Watch this short clip on Antarctica - would you like to visit Antarctica or not? Explain your reasoning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYKpF6ijqw4 Starter Where is Antarctica? Who owns Antarctica? Do any humans live there permanently? Main What are the biggest threats to Antarctica and why? Are these threats caused by humans or nature? Side What is value of Antarctica for humans? Why are scientists based there? Dessert To what extent should we manage Antarctica in the future? If you’re still hungry for more discussion – Should humans be allowed to enter Antarctica at all or should it be left to be the last wilderness on earth? Ms. Frampton & Mr Salmon Page 5 News, Events & Activities from the English Department... Year 8 have been learning about the typical conventions of Shakespeare's comedies and have been demonstrating their knowledge by using storyboardthat.com to re-create the plot of Twelfth Night. Here are a few of my favourites from Ellen Charman-Lodge, Ellen Whitlock and Samirah Badurdeen. Miss Bansal Page 6 News, Events & Activities from the English Department Continued... Page 7 News, Events & Activities from the Science Department... Year 8 were asked to design a state of the art greenhouse as part of their topic on Photosynthesis Chloe Byrne – saved on land space for the farmer by stacking the crops on shelves like they do in the Netherlands. Alice Cox - had sprinklers that turned on at specific times of the day and a glass roof that could open to help with air circulation. Samantha also had a small fire in the corner to provide warmth to speed up photosynthesis and provide CO2. Samantha Marshall – showed great digital skills by designing hers on the computer. Samantha included solar panels to charge the electricity used inside and provided eco-friendly LED lights and sprinklers. Samantha wanted to make it as financially viable for the farmer as possible so it wasn’t expensive to set up. This is work from Maryam Moghul (11xTr) who designed a summary poster on the topic of Ecology. Page 8 News, Events & Activities from the Science Department Continued... A Year 7 science class explored the question "why adding salt to water will make an egg float!" They will tell you "it's because of density!" Most of the class did this investigation as a 'Science-along' on Zoom, while 4 of the students carried the experiment out it in one of our science labs. It was great to see some 'hands-on' science being done, both at-home and in the school lab, and only 1 egg was cracked in a class of 25 - top skills! Mr Hulks News, Events & Activities from Heads of Year 9... As part of her Duke of Edinburgh award, Laura Poirier in 9YMO has been volunteering at the registered charity, Crawley Free Shop. They are a charity that provides a safe space to help families in Crawley with things such as tea, coffee, pasta, nappies, washing powder and other essential items. Laura's volunteer work consists of picking up donations and sorting the donations into paper bags of portion sizes (for example 6 scoops of washing powder per bag). Laura then takes the donations to Crawley Free Shop on a Sunday morning, ready to be given to families in need. The Year 9 Team is extremely proud of Laura and her efforts to help her local community in such a meaningful way. Well done Laura! Heads of Year 9 Page 9 News, Events & Activities from the Design Technology Department... Year 9 & 11 students have been enhancing their CAD work on Google Sketchup. Year 9 have been creating property images for a ‘Grand Designs’ brief, inspired by Design Movements. Page 10 News, Events & Activities from the Design Technology Department Continued...

Page 12 News, Events & Activities from the Drama Department... Year 7 Drama – Peter Pan Year 7 Drama students have been able to experience high quality live theatre from their own homes, thanks to the National Theatre’s free subscription to their Schools Collection during lockdown. Students have been watching Pater Pan (performed and recorded at the National Theatre in 2018). As part of the students’ analysis of the play they have also been practising their use of voice and accent, creating masks and recording themselves performing monologues from the play. We have had such an array of interesting and creative responses to the work, which shows the vast talent for Drama in the year group. Below are some examples of the incredible work submitted: Charlotte Bedwell (7JPL) made this excellent crocodile puppet, complete with snapping jaws! Hook had better watch out! This Year 7 student made a superb mask for one of Tiger Lily’s wolves. He even took fur from his dog to adorn the mask and make it look more realistic! I hope his dog isn’t too cold now! Abigail Dodd (7KBO) performed an incredibly accomplished monologue as Captain Hook, showing excellent control of voice and movement and an utterly engaging character. She even went to the trouble of making a hook for the character out of tin foil! What resourcefulness! Mrs Grubb Page 13 News, Events & Activities from the Music Department... Hazelwick Virtual Concert Our first virtual concert premiered on Thursday 11th February and was a roaring success! Students from our GCSE classes in Year 9, 10 and 11, performed a variety of pieces from Musical Theatre to Rock, and Pop to Game Music. The concert concluded with a performance of Bruno Mars’ song Count on Me, which was sung by over 200 students from Years 7 and 8. You can watch the performance here - https://tinyurl.com/hazelwickmusic Congratulations to all who participated in the concert. You were all fantastic. Mr Bayliss Head of Music Page 14 News, Events & Activities from the Food Preparation & Nutrition Department... Our Year 8 made some delicious pizza during lockdown. During lockdown our Year 10 Food Preparation and Nutrition students had cook-along sessions and produced these beautiful Art Focaccia breads.

  • The Otaku Lifestyle: Examining Soundtracks in the Anime Canon
    THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ B.M., University of Central Missouri, 2014 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON Michelle Jurkiewicz, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, or anime, has been popular around the globe for the last sixty years. Anime has its own fan culture in the United States known as otaku, or the obsessive lifestyle surrounding manga and anime, which has resulted in American production companies creating their own “anime.” Japanese filmmakers do not regard anime simply as a cartoon, but instead realize it as genre of film, such as action or comedy. However, Japanese anime is not only dynamic and influential because of its storylines, characters, and themes, but also for its purposeful choices in music. Since the first anime Astro Boy and through films such as Akira, Japanese animation companies combine their history from the past century with modern or “westernized” music. Unlike cartoon films produced by Disney or Pixar, Japanese anime do not use music to mimic the actions on-screen; instead, music heightens and deepens the plot and emotions. This concept is practiced in live-action feature films, and although anime consists of hand-drawn and computer-generated cartoons, Japanese directors and animators create a “film” experience with their dramatic choice of music.
